Abstract (en)

A device for generating conditioned electrical signals in response to forces applied to the device. The device includes an actuator with a substrate and a shaft having several strain sensitive resistors mounted on the shaft. The resistors generate an electrical signal representative of force applied to the shaft. The actuator is mounted on a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has a signal conditioning means, mounted to the printed circuit board, for conditioning the electrical signal. The signal conditioning means operates to receive the electrical signal as an input and provides a conditioned signal as an output. The printed circuit board and actuator is mounted to a keyboard base. <IMAGE>
